If MS offers a larger HD, it would go on the same spot.

Unlike Sony, there is no warrenty void by removing HD, as it is designed that way. Same with the rechargable battery compartment on the controller. But I digress.
I was thinking of USB 2.0, but then I looked and the both have ports, so problem solved. Wicked feature from both platforms. I doubt Xbox would bother selling another drive with that feature, who'd buy it?

FYI - I ran into that whole voided warranty thread on another forum - that's apparently a false presumption that Sony has never claimed. That's on my laptop. I just did a quick google and found a few other sites echoing that sentiment though.

I dunno...PS3 fanboys say one thing, XBox fanboys say another. I could see Sony being really anal about it, but then again, if you don't tell them you swap drives, how would they know?
Even it is true and the warranty gets voided, I doubt it's an issue for 99% of users on account of external HDD's getting cheaper and bigger. 2 years from now it definitely won't be. Of the 1% of people who will swap drives, chances are they PS3 won't crap out (pretty hard to fry a machine connecting a drive), and chances are they wont' do it in the warranty period.

Any idea how many Xbox 360 or PS3 users even use the drives?
I doubt people will swap either until the warranties expire anyway, but whatever.
